S3 Ep87: The One With A Pep In Our Step: Tuesday, May 12th, 2020

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the Morning Toast.

Happy Tuesday.

If you are in New York, it is a beautiful, smart, and stunning day here.

Hey, Claude, how you dern?

Hey, Jax, I'm doing good.

I had no idea it was a nice day out because I don't open my shades and I live in a bunker.

So

good to know.

Good to know.

By the way, someone commented this, and I think it's very true that how you dern is the new Good Morning Millennials.

Never.

it's the quarantine version of good morning millennials because you know what it's not really morning and it's not really good but how you dern no but because it's also i haven't been able to say it so it's like itching me and it's like

wow that was mad pitchy you are rusty oh excuse me you're rusty

please i don't know if it's just like the zoom audio maybe for the podcasters, it's premium, but like my ears are bleeding.

Just don't ever call me Rusty Against.

No, but like that was Rusty again.

Good morning, millennials.

Good morning, millennials.

Honestly, it is a great morning.

I want to start the morning off with a high because last night, the most special thing of all time happened to us, for us, by us, with us from the toasters.

A group of toasters got together.

Well, it was one toaster in particular, shout out to Nancy, who reached out to as many toasters as Facebook and Instagram would allow her and asked them to send videos to compile for us a video of what the toast means to them and you know what their favorite parts are and just like how it's helped them get through their day or through a tough time I guess because she sensed that you know we weren't at our best recently yeah I didn't even realize how much I needed that video it was the nicest sweetest thing the video is 40 minutes and

It was so special.

I was laughing.

I was crying.

There were so many, there was a few like familiar faces from Camp Toast and from the shows that I know, but there were so many new faces.

And it just made me realize, like, the toast, we're not just talking to each other and ourselves when we sit here and do this show every day.

And like, it means something to so many people.

And it just like it made me want to put earrings on, which you can't even see now, I realize because of my AirPods.

But I put on a Leto Chanel earring for you guys and a pleni ass sweater because like you guys deserve it.

And I feel like we just got so off track.

Yeah, no, it's like

it's difficult, especially in quarantine, not to feel like there are five people listening.

And I know we have analytics and we know that there's like so many people listening, but I don't know.

I've just felt like so isolated in quarantine to the point where like, I feel like we get up every day and like no one's listening to this show.

And it's like, we're being so funny and nobody cares.

But that's not the case.

And I realized that from the video and it just like reinvigorated my spirit, like I have a whole new spirit for life.

And I just felt like.

what we do has purpose and like when days are just not easy to get out of bed and like be cheerful, especially in quarantine, like knowing that there's people who rely on this show like for literally anything, even if it's just to get away from their kids for an hour, like that's important and that adds value.

And like I am not going to stop doing it, even though people want me to.

I will not you can't get rid of me yet.

Yeah, no, we can't stop.

We won't stop.

It was just exactly what we needed and what we didn't even know that we needed.

Like I had just like mentally, I was on the verge of just like giving up, like phoning it in.

I was just done with all of this.

But look at me today.

I'm a new woman.

And that's that's thanks to the toasters.

It was just, it was really one of the nicest things like anyone's ever done for us.

Um,

and we love you and we are so thankful.

And thank you.

And you know what?

It made me, um, just like hearing what people love about the community is so much about the Facebook groups.

And it just like made me sad that our group is like not

in session.

And obviously, like it really, like, I just wanted to like reactivate the group last night, just like hearing what everyone said, because I know that those subgroups are like so much a part of people's lives and and it's all funneled from the main group.

Yes.

So it's definitely on my list of things to have a meeting with you about.

I just think there needs to be some major changes and a major purge.

Yeah, well, that was the first thing since all of this has happened that was in the plus column for the main group.

And I feel like we're just evaluating, seeing how things go, what people even want.

I feel like we could even run a poll.

Like, do people even miss the main group?

Like, I know the subgroups are where it's at.

But it was the first thing that got me thinking, like, it's been a week now.

Maybe the main group, I mean, we know it wasn't all bad but maybe the positivity is is shining through again yeah and i think like some of the plans i put together a powerpoint i'll send to you some of the plans i have for how the main group moves forward i think implementing these types of ideas will in the end result in a more positive community which is what it used to be yes in addition to continuing to take out the trash Oh, always.

I mean, I'm taking out the trash every day of my life.

That's just all there is to do in quarantine.

We acquire so much trash here in the apartment.

But it is so important.

It's so important to take out the trash during quarantine.

You just can't live amongst trash.

And it piles up.

Like, I don't know if you're talking about real trash, but I'm talking about garbage bags hefty because literally just between how much we're eating and how much I'm just like living in this house, the trash, I take out the trash like three times a day.

No, it's, it's so important.

I have like a few mini trash cans.

They all build up to one trash can.

It's, there's a lot of trash going on here.

And I actually do mean legitimate garbage, but it's also is a metaphor.

Of course.

Anyway, so that's why we have a little bit of pep in our step.

The video was posted in the Toast After Dark Facebook group.

I know a lot of people had wanted to see it, but it's up to the toasters who participated if they want to share it or not.

Yeah, it was just a truly beautiful tribute.

Like I was walking around my house with a smile on my face, like trying to talk to bed.

I'm like, and then this one girl said, and he was like, cool.

I'm like, you don't even appreciate your wife.

No, I was laughing so hard when the girl had her, everyone was like toasting to the wild ones and she was like in a toast to women in country.

i was on the floor i completely forgot about all of that and then they throw back to the cma fest i was just dying yes that's so true everyone was like make like it's just so funny what sticks with people and like what stays in their group of friends and things that i don't even remember saying or like remember hearing from you have like stuck with people and that's just so funny a toast to women in country i don't even remember saying that no when we um were on the cm go to car band we were asking everyone what are they toasting to tonight like literally 70 of people said i'm toasting to women in country and it was like, it wasn't planned, but it was planned.

Also, the video just got me like wanting to put my best foot forward.

And I decided to take out one of my fancy glasses today.

And because it's like, I have all these nice glasses, I use this like random Coca-Cola glass from when Zach was a bachelor.

Or yesterday, I used this little mason jar and it wasn't enough coffee.

And I was just like.

I can bring some style to the show with what glass I use.

I just want to say that these are plant-based straws.

I think everyone would be really proud of me.

I switched over to plant-based straws a while ago.

Straws.

And I'm,

oh, and I'll give you some.

They're so good.

They're so good.

No, okay, in my defense, mine are not plant-based.

They are plastic, but it's a bag I bought from Amazon maybe two years ago.

Like there were so many straws in the bag.

I won't be buying another bag, but while I have them, and then I cut them up before I throw them in the trash.

I feel like that helps.

No, that helps.

And it's better than to just throw them all away like whole right now.

Right.

And then I'll send, I took a picture of the label of these plant-based straws because they're so fabulous.

And I'm just really living a plant-based life in the queue.

Yeah, you know, I love a PBS, a plant-based straw.

I mean, I love it.

It's actually a really nice straw.

I think you'll like it.

Anyway, so I have my iridescent fancy glass.

And very fancy.

I'm hitting you with those plenie vibes.

And I didn't even realize like it's an ode to the pastel pack that dropped yesterday.

And people are saying the

reviews are in.

They're saying it's my best work yet, which is really.

Which really is flattering because like they said that about like the last pack and the one before that but this is really like a whole new vibe um if you're looking to like

amp up your content during quarantine even just edit pictures for fun you can go down a rabbit hole just adding presets to old photos head to jackieofloe.com um get the new pastel pack it is everything of the sort honestly i think i might like do a little photo shoot today um

in the home like just so that i can use them and post something We are just on different planets today.

Like I wanted to show my appreciation for the toast, but like I did not put on any makeup or anything different.

I think I actually wore this sweater the day before yesterday.

It's for my tour.

And I'm definitely not going to do a photo shoot.

I'll probably just lay in bed and watch shows all day, but I so appreciate the effort you're putting forward.

It's inspiring.

Thanks.

It just like makes me, I feel like that's what I bring a lot of to the regular show.

And also someone posted, I forget which group it was in, because when I was posting my presets with my old photos, they were like, this is making me miss when like Jackie used to get dressed up for the show.

And I'm like, honestly, same.

So I thought I'd do like a mix, you know, but i put on almost full glam today i honestly don't really know what steps i skipped other than eyeshadow and you can't even tell on zoom like it's not glam friendly no i'm nervous that um when all of this is over i'm genuinely going to forget like the steps and the procedures that are a part of my everyday makeup routine like

i don't even know what the first step is and i literally have been doing makeup every day for my whole life for like the last at least eight years.

And I think that when the day comes that I have to put on makeup again, like I'm going to have to watch a tutorial.

Oh, I'll watch my own tutorial.

How about that?

Oh, that's really smart.

I want to spend this time like learning new um tips and trades.

And something that I've really wanted to learn how to do is like bomb eyeshadow, cut crease, cut crease, you know, like the whole nine yards.

So I think that might be like an activity I do this week where I just like sit down with all of my palettes, put on a few tutorials, and learn how to do my eyeshadow because I think that would take my look from zero to 60.

Look what I got.

Oh, well, you don't watch Drag Race, but Kim Chi, who is my favorite, you would have loved her, Jackie.

She, spoiler alert, didn't win, but that's because she was really just like a makeup glam queen.

And in order to be a winner, you have to be like a comedy queen, a look queen, like you have to have all.

And she really was just like stellar in the looks department and then like couldn't like be funny and couldn't act.

But she started a makeup brand.

when she was uh right after drag race and i think it's like really really popular look how sick this is

Ooh, that's nice.

Oh,

I like the mixture of neutrals and fun colors.

Oh my God, wait.

There's a color called toast.

Which one?

Oh, that's a nice color.

That's like what I put on my lower line.

I just, I don't like know how to do eyeshadow, but I really appreciate like the pigments and the packaging.

And I'm probably just never going to use it, but like look at it all the time.

Yeah, that's that's where I'm at with a lot of my palettes.

But I think I'm going to, I'm going to like get an education in Glam, like before the queue is up.

You know, there's still a lot of time.

Let me know if you're kind of a tutorial.

There's still a lot of time left to pick up new hobbies and like new skills.

And so I'm gonna try and make the most of it because the toasters put that pep in my step.

Totally.

I'm getting back into knitting.

I just got my needles from Amazon.

I started knitting.

I know I told everybody, everyone, the spring break, where Margot sharded for the first time.

I told the story last week, if you want to go into it, that's when I learned how to knit.

And it's just so funny how certain things you never forget.

Like I was at my friend Nikki's apartment like a few months ago and she had like knitting needles and she was like starting out.

I'm like, can I try?

And I just, I just remembered, like, it's crazy how those like

muscle memory.

Yeah, exactly.

Thank you.

I couldn't think of the phrase, obviously, because I'm dumb.

That muscle memory like really stays with you.

And I literally was just like knitting while I was sitting at her apartment.

So I am going to get back into it.

I can't really make anything other than like something linear.

So like a scarf or like a blanket technically, but that's really big.

But I think I can make Theo like a mini scarf and that's what I'm going to do.

Oh my God.

Claudia, that's beautiful.

Tis, tis.

It's tiz.

Okay, well, I think it's time to get into stuff.

You know, we'll go in and out as we always do.

To recap, I started the show Never Have I Ever, which I want to talk about.

I saw that you did that.

And I think that's all I watched.

I was so

I'm curious to get your thoughts because that's something that I want to watch, but I need you to tell me if I'm too old for it.

Oh, no, I wasn't going to say you're too old for it.

I just don't know if you would like it because I am not like dying for it.

And there's a reason.

I'm also only five episodes in, but I feel like that's a lot.

That is a lot.

I also weirdly have like a lot coming up on my slate because I've been like saving all this stuff.

So like I'm still, I'm just about to start season two of Ugly Betty.

I still have Hollywood, Dead to Me, and Money Heist season four.

So I'm just like, and then soon the politician is going to come out and plot special is going to come out.

Like it's going to be crazy.

I'm so jealous of anyone who hasn't watched Dead to Me season two.

I was talking with Olivia last night and she was like, no, me and Zach haven't started it.

Like we're gone on.

They were were just watching something else.

And I was like, Olivia, don't take this moment for granted.

Like, I'm so, it was so good.

Or if anyone who's never even watched the show, if you have now have two seasons on Netflix of premium fucking content living in Laguna Beach, I just like wanted to be in that house.

Like, it is so good.

Um, and I'm just jealous of people who are going to have that experience.

Oh, definitely.

Well, I guess I'm one of those people, and I very much look forward to this.

Oh, can I tell you?

You know, I have like I'm a coffee drinker now.

Oh, so we never got to check in on what happened that first day that you drink coffee um i didn't really feel anything okay and yesterday i drank coffee too yesterday i was so peppy on the show and i definitely crashed but i always crash so i don't know if that has anything to do with the coffee um

then today i'm like starting to get into a routine so i go into the kitchen and we're out of coffee like the coffee that i've been using ben um and his dad are obsessed with lacolomb and they get these cans right so that's what i was using i was putting it over ice with um a little creamer hazelnut non non-sugar-free, whatever the fuck it's called, coffee make.

And they go in, we're out of cans.

I'm like, are you fucking kidding me?

I'm like jonesing now, you know, I'm like an addict.

And Ben was like, all right, this is what we do when we run out of instant coffee, when we run out of

the cans.

Ben has literally the most disgusting kosher for Passover, kosher brand instant coffee.

I don't know where the fuck he got it.

So we put a pitcher of hot water, mixed it in, left it in the fridge, and then we poured it over ice and I added my my creamer.

I added like a little extra creamer and like a million sugars and it just tastes like a milkshake now because there's like one drop of coffee in it.

So I'm not that mad.

I just, I'm like, this is what never what I wanted for my life to be like a coffee person.

There's just like so much time, energy, money that goes into like finding the perfect formula.

And I was always above it, you know, but now I'm not.

Yeah, I'm so below it.

Like I'm so in the coffee culture, even though like, my coffee rhythm has just been out of step recently.

But something also very exciting.

Today is just an exciting day with a lot of pep because for the first time since the first week of quarantine, I've been able to get an at-home grocery delivery and it's coming today.

When did you place the order?

I placed it like two days ago.

There are time slots.

It was like a seven hour time slot.

It's obviously not the most desirable, but like I'm home all day.

What do I care?

Oh my God, that's crazy.

So I'm using it to like buy all the beverages that are too heavy for me to carry from the store.

And so they also have the cold brew concentrate that I love that I haven't had for months.

So hopefully starting tomorrow, I'll be back in my coffee rhythm.

But I also think it's time for me to get a new coffee machine.

And I'm thinking about getting an espresso and I'm curious.

I'm curious.

Well, I drink coffee every single day.

It's like such a big part of my life.

Like I, you get what you pay for.

Like I'm willing to invest in my future.

of coffee drinking.

So I'm just curious what people think about an espresso.

Maybe I should try one once before I go and buy the whole machine um i just like want to get my coffee game more on point because i think it would just make me more excited to like wake up in the morning if i knew i was having like a great cup of coffee um i feel that can i give a quick update from yesterday we challenged our audience yesterday on the show to either watch heavyweights or tell us if they've watched heavyweights as an adult and you have no connection to fat camp like what you thought of the movie does the movie still stand and i got an overwhelming amount of messages being like i actually recently just watched this movie with my husband i never went to fat camp and it's so funny.

Like, I think the movie 100%

exists outside of like our childhood.

Wait.

Okay.

But this girl commented on my photo saying, Toaster, age 30 watching heavyweights for the first time tonight will report back.

And I haven't heard back from her.

So I'm just going to go off of what she says because, like, she is

the exact subject, like, someone who had never seen it age 30.

So we'll see.

No, I literally got messages from people who are in their late 20s, early 30s, who watched it in recent memory and they said it was fabulous.

And they were like, I loved it.

Well, Paige, I'm waiting to hear back from you.

My whole case.

Why is Paige better than mine?

I just decided.

I just decided.

I decided that mine's better than Paige.

Okay, well, like, you have your witnesses and I'll have mine.

And then we'll take it to court and justice will be served for once and for all.

No, justice has been served.

I have the proof.

And it's just, you know what?

If the glove does not fit, you must acquit.

You must.

That is true.

It's so tough.

Okay.

Okay.

Wait, do we have the Allison Roman like part two story today?

We don't because I personally was over it, but I would be happy to slot it in because the stories are like weak.

Slot it in and not because I find it interesting, but Chrissy Teigen wrote some very

eloquent and poignant tweets last night just about what it's like to be like the type of person who's like unfiltered and flippant and then like who gets in trouble for and I actually related to it so much and it was just she was like putting into words like things that i felt and um the story is that allison apologized which i don't even care about it was like literally the best written apology um ever and we'll talk about it so best written apology yeah i thought it was like oh yeah

oh yeah yeah yeah no it was nice i just like couldn't believe that after like i thought we were on the like the tail end of reporting on this story and then there was like more apologies to come and i thought she already apologized and obviously like she feels terrible and just like can't stop saying sorry and i hope that she feels a little better now and i just pulled it up so i will slot it in i guess hannah brown is going to have to take a back seat um you can listen to the snatchler for her statement on reflecting on her journey from her one year after her engagement to jed so glad that we're me too

me too

Okay,

without further ado, ET's time for the fast five stories that you need to know before you wake up and take a bite out of your morning toast.

Today's episode of the morning toast, I would be absolutely rumors, absolutely devastated.

I might even go as far as to say that I would be heartbroken if I didn't get the opportunity to tell everyone that today's episode is brought to you by Care Of.

We're not wearing makeup.

Thank you, Careof, for sponsoring today's episode of the Morning Post.

Love it.

Okay.

So I think for the first story, let's start with the Chrissy Teigen Allison Roman drama because we're on the tail of it.

And I have all the tweets and I totally agree with you.

Okay, so on Monday, Allison Roman doubled down on her previous apology to Teigen and admitted her words came from her own insecurities and white privilege.

Quote, it was stupid, careless, and insensitive.

I need to learn and respect the difference between being unfiltered and honest versus being uneducated and flippant.

So

if you want to read her whole apology, which as Claudia said was very well written, head over to Allison Roman's Instagram page.

In response, Chrissy Teigen tweeted,

one second.

She said, thank you for this, Allison Roman.

To be clear, it never once crossed my mind for you to apologize for what you genuinely thought.

The comments stung, but they more so stung because they came from you.

It wasn't my usual news break of some random person hating everything about me.

I don't agree with the pylon, people waiting with bated breath for apologies, deciding if that apology is good, the people who say you were right and never needed to in the first place.

There are so many different types in this kind of situation, and TBH, I just want it to be over.

I think we are alike in so many ways.

I remember the exact time I realized I wasn't allowed to say whatever popped in my head, that I couldn't just say things in the way that so many of my friends were saying.

Before, I never really knew where I stood in the industry, in the world.

Eventually, I realized that once the relatable, quote, snarky girl who didn't care became a pretty successful cookbook author and had more power in the industry, I couldn't just say whatever the fuck I wanted.

The more we grow, the more we get those wake-up calls.

Oh, but how I still think some of those things.

I just don't unleash on my peers on super public platforms, lol.

I often comment about how I wish I could get away with what I used to now, but the truth is, I don't.

I've learned a fuck ton from my years being watched and read.

And I can really say it makes you a better person.

It makes you think about the impact of what you say slash who it might hurt.

I still think you are incredibly talented.

And in an industry that doesn't really lend itself to supporting more than a handful of people at a time, I feel like we all, all we have are each other.

Okay.

First of all, like.

put that threat on my gravestone.

Like I couldn't stand by that statement anymore.

Like there are some times where I wish I could just like say whatever the fuck I want and that's what I've been branded as.

But it's like at the end of the day, she's right.

Like being in the public eye, of course, has its privileges and disadvantages.

But like when you're forced to like educate yourself and eventually grow from saying stupid things, like it really overall just benefits you.

So I just thought that like this was taken like from my subconscious.

I thought it was brilliant.

But there are two things going on here.

One, that, and two, I really feel like this apology was like so, it literally felt like a.

The New York Times wrote it.

Like it was perfect.

It just, it, it literally took all angles of what people were mad at her about.

She acknowledged the fact that she didn't even realize the two women that she spoke disparagingly about were both Asian.

And like, what does that say about her subconscious?

Like, I just thought that it was so well done.

And even though yesterday I thought this was like major illusory crime and it is, like, I have absolutely no choice but to accept the apology of someone who has obviously made it clear that she like knows why what she said was fucked up.

Yeah, I agree.

And I feel like Chrissy Teigen is always on the cutting edge of like cancel culture.

Even when like Vanessa Hudgins said what she said, Chrissy Teigen was like, let's not just pile on.

Like people are human.

Like this is a real person.

And so I feel like Chrissy Teigen has now been on both ends of it, like the offensive and the offendee.

And her take on it is just everything that we need right now because like.

There are so many people with so many different opinions.

And like we don't all need to jump on someone, but we also don't all need to be like, you don't need to apologize at all.

Like there is middle ground.

And I actually really hope that after this, like the two of them, it seems like they would get along and

maybe we can move on from this and they can be friends.

Yeah, there's like a quote ingrained in my memory from when Logan Paul got canceled for that awful video that he made.

And Chrissy was like not defending him and she was speaking in general terms, but she was obviously talking about like the cancellation that was happening at that time, which was Logan Paul.

And she was basically like, why can't you just like stop supporting someone and not like have to make a campaign or like a hashtag about it?

Like if somebody does something to upset you, of course, as a consumer, you have every right to stop, to choose to stop supporting them.

But like these, these public like congregations, like with these movements of like trying to ruin someone's life, like that's like, why do we have to do that?

Why can't you just silently stop supporting someone?

Yeah.

I mean, it's literally turned into a party to end someone's career.

Like

is over party.

Like, why?

I don't get why that's a party for you.

Like if someone that you love is no longer the person that you want to support, like that's, that shouldn't be like a celebration.

No, it's sad.

yeah um anyways i hope chrissy teigen also said that she's taking a break from twitter um because obviously like it all starts with people that support you and then it turns into you know everyone else who has an opinion about you and she just um

can't right that was exactly another thing she said that also was like literally in my mind.

She was like, you know, day one, you do something and like, of course, all your supporters are there and they're supporting you.

And then the next day is when the trolls arrive, like they're a little late to the party because they don't follow you and they start saying terrible things about you and and your family and your kids.

And that's exactly how it happens.

It was just, she really knows she has been there.

Yeah.

So I totally get that.

This has just been a wild ride, but I feel like it's

over.

Yeah.

So

that's that on that.

And that's on, period.

Okay, next story, a really crazy story that Claudia sent me this morning that

I'm really shook over.

Vanderpomp Rules editor admits to a personal vendetta against Sheena Shea.

After a season filled with humiliating montages on Vanderpump Rules, Sheena Shea finally has an explanation for what happened in the cutting room.

Brie Dellinger, an editor on the Hip Rabbo show, appeared on episodes one and eight of the Twisted Plot podcast with Evelyn Marley and revealed exactly why Shay's gotten a seeming lion's share of embarrassment in the show's final cuts.

Quote, if Sheena knows what's good for her, she'd befriend me because my favorite game is finding all the embarrassing things that Sheena does and putting them all in, she clipped clipped on one episode.

She later joked that if Shay was to write a memoir, the title should be Death by a Million Embarrassments.

And while she didn't state which cast members she gives more favorable edits to, she admitted that she manipulated a scene between Sheena and Sassy's teenage brother, Nikolai, at the engagement party.

Quote, it was so funny.

We were watching the scene and we're like, okay, this is over the top.

I realize that.

But how can we resist?

Yes, I said it to funny music.

and I added a funny sound bite, but she did that.

She continued, quote, we asked her in the interview, how young would you go?

And we didn't tell her it was for the Nikolai scene, of course.

An insider revealed to Page 6 on Monday after the episodes were mysteriously removed from Apple Podcasts that Shay has been upset by the way season eight has played out.

Sheena's definitely frustrated with how she's been portrayed, the insider said.

She's not the type to pop off when she feels slighted by an unflattering edit.

She signed on to be a part of the reality show, which requires her to share her life's highs and lows.

She just wishes audiences got to see a more balanced view of her life, not just the most cringe-worthy moments.

She's been assured by the network and production that she's part of the charade.

She's going to be absolutely crushed by hearing that she's actually the butt of the joke.

Okay.

Also, what this article did mention is that later on in the podcast, this editor like was praising Stasi and Bo about how they're the heroes.

And of course, like when you think of who gets a favorable edit and who doesn't, like it's obviously Stasi.

Like look what, look what she got from the show.

It's like so many fans, podcast listeners, books.

And obviously she's great, but being...

edited in a positive light these last few seasons has definitely helped catapult that.

Yeah, I mean any any sort of edit i'm sure a great editor can make sheena like the most likable character on the show and yes you could argue sheena has done those things but when you choose to show someone's only embarrassing moments and not the balance of their human moments you it's it's warped and like i think this is so up and like the fact that she's just joking about it like this is someone's life and you know what like sheena has been the most cringe-tastic character this season and every like once in a, once in a blue moon, we get a glimpse of like her human side when she started crying about like freezing her eggs.

And this wasn't where I wanted to be.

And it kind of explains all the other childish stuff that she does.

But if you're saying there's more of those moments and you're just not showing them to us because you want us to see her as this one-dimensional, embarrassing figure, like

this is

not nice.

Yeah, no, like there's definitely, okay, this editor like really has a vendetta against Sheena, which there's honestly no way you can deny, especially not only because she admitted it, but like Sheena's literally been absent from the last few seasons and the parts that we do see are so cringy and embarrassing.

And it's like, you think that's her 24-7, but there's obviously like a lot more moments to her that are very earnest or whatever.

Like she's going this, through this whole fertility treatment.

Like, don't you think people would have wanted to see that?

Like other women going through the same thing?

Like to have left that out.

such an important part of someone's life like seemed odd now it all makes sense and to not only have a vendetta against someone which everyone's entitled to but like to take it out on like your job is weird but then to like be so publicly like proud of it and go on a podcast and talk about it where you obviously don't think you're doing anything wrong.

Like it seems so fucked up.

And like Sheena was on one yesterday.

Like she was literally tweeting like, Andy, DM me, I have T.

And she obviously gave this story to page six.

I saw it on like a couple fan accounts for like Andy Cohen fan accounts and Vanner Pump Rules fan accounts.

And honestly, I'm glad that people are talking about it.

It's actually.

like really fucked up.

And if I think about the way that I perceive Sheena over the last few seasons, it's like cringy and like we've made fun of her.

And it's like, honestly, she probably didn't deserve that.

Yeah, it's just not the whole story and that's not there because everyone else has their even like rocket james like everyone has their redeeming moments and sheena just never gets that shown on the show um also sheena had tweeted a few weeks ago when the nikolai thing aired that that was like taken so out of context uh and of course you're like well you did it but like when you're manipulating the interviews versus what's happening on the show and putting music like it's it's not right and i feel like for reality tv especially a show like the Interpump Rules, where there's so much there without you having to like craft things like this,

it's just like, it's 2020.

Like this isn't season one.

This isn't season one of The Bachelor.

Like, you know, we're going to get these girls to say crazy stuff.

Like, let the kids live and like just show us their lives.

We're fans of them as they are now.

Like it doesn't require that much manipulation.

Yeah, it must be frustrating for Sheena to have to like explain herself after every episode.

And when she did tweet that thing, like this conversation with Nikolai was nothing of the sort.

Sassy actually replied and was like, I was there, it was not weird, like, really, um, like having her back, which made me happy.

Because Sasse, who's who is someone who's gotten such a favorable edit, not the whole series, but definitely in the last few seasons, um, it's clear that they like her.

And to me, like, there was nothing shocking about this page six article.

No, but it's, it's, it's shocking to just see it all written, like, plain out, you know, something that you were feeling, but like, I never gave a second thought to.

I was just like, wow, Sheena's really like worse than ever.

Yeah.

And it really just is so unethical.

Yeah, because it's someone's life.

Yeah.

And I get that they signed up for this.

I get it.

But they signed up to share their lives and that's what they do.

But to have it be so manipulated, of course, there's things that get left on the cutting room floor.

And of course, they play music sometimes.

But just to have this person's entire storyline for the last, I would say, four seasons, have everything they do be so manipulated, which I feel like it's been now that I know this, it makes me feel bad for Sheena.

Yeah, but I feel like, yes, they signed up for it, but

I feel like they all signed up for an equal playing field amongst cast members.

Like, if you want to embarrass every single cast member, then that would be more fair than just singling out one person while you raise everyone else up.

Yeah,

agreed.

That's my thoughts on that.

Honestly, justice for Sheena.

Never thought I'd say it, but it's so true.

Yeah.

Okay, next story.

A little good news.

Tina Fey tears up as a telethon raises $115 million for New Yorkers affected by COVID-19.

Tina Faye was brought to tears over the generosity of Americans who reached out to help New Yorkers affected by the coronavirus pandemic on Monday night.

The Emmy winner and SNL alum was hosting Rise of New York, the Robin Hood Relief Benefit, a star-studded virtual telethon raising money for the city's leading poverty-fighting organization when she got emotional while reading the final tally.

Is this real?

She asked producers seeing the number for the first time.

Okay, $115 million.

We did this.

You did this.

We are difference makers.

$115 million.

What a great day for New york that special was fabulous like they really had quality celebrity quality talent quality performances billy joel it was very very well done and i don't say that about a lot of these like home ground specials no you do not wow this is like so amazing robinhood is a great organization and they're turning their efforts towards helping new yorkers affected by covid 19 and this is just such a beautiful story Right.

And like, we've gone to a Robin Hood like fundraiser once.

It feels good to know that $115 million is going to like a legit organization who's like, I, in New York, I have seen the fruits of their labor.

Like, it's not, some of these charities are just so ambiguous.

And, like, you really never know what's being done with the money.

But Robinhood is like in the communities.

It's really great.

So I hope that this helps a lot of people.

Yeah.

Some of the A-listers who

participated, Jennifer Lopez, Robert De Niro, Bett Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Chris Rock, Jake Gyllenhal, Sutton Foster, Rosie Perez, Jimmy Fallon, Salton Peppa, Fab 5, Trevor Noah, Danny Meyer, David Chang, Beastie Boys.

I love that they got like New Yorkers.

Yeah,

me too.

It's great.

It's great.

Okay, this next story like brought a warmth to like whatever the opposite of a pit is, like a glow in my stomach.

What is the opposite of a pit?

Like something that just warmed the cockles of my heart.

Like

we need to come up with a word.

Yeah.

Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormy chanting patience in the candy challenge is the cutest thing you'll see all week.

All year.

Kylie Jenner posted a video of Stormy.

I guess there's a candy challenge going around where you like tempt your child with candy and see if they wait till you come back.

You film them.

You see if they wait till you come back to eat the candy, as you had said.

So Kylie shared this video of us where she left the phone while she told Stormy was going.

she was going to the bathroom and we just watched stormy sitting there like willpower at its finest chanting patience to herself as she waits for her mom, Kylie, to get back so that she can eat three pieces of candy.

It is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

And I feel like it's a real window and like a testament into what type of kid Stormy is.

And she looks like she's such a good kid.

And like Kylie's such a good mom.

Not that I ever thought otherwise, but you know, celebrity kids can be monsters.

Like we know that.

Like she just seemed like such a lovely girl.

Yeah, like so respecting, rule following, obviously very full of willpower.

I don't know.

It's like an interesting social experiment to conduct on your children.

And I guess this is obviously the best possible result.

It's just interesting.

Yeah.

Oh my God, my eye just twitched.

It's a trend that's on TikTok that I've seen.

And it's...

it's like a famous science experiment.

It's like the marshmallow challenge.

I remember seeing it like when I was in like science grade class in the sixth grade.

And honestly, as an adult, I don't think I could pass no and stormy passed with flying colors flying she's so cute yeah i wonder what like scientifically this says about her obviously it's a science experiment like but what are we experimenting like what are we proving what's the hypothesis yeah i think the hypothesis is that kylie jenner is a great mom and her new house looks fabulous yeah i think that's what we were what was proven as well And Kim commented, she was like, oh my God, this is so crazy.

Like Chicago would never, Saint would never.

She was like like putting her own kids on blast.

It was really funny.

Really funny.

Speaking of own kids, if you're watching on YouTube, Vichemin has entered the chat.

Vichemin has entered the chat.

He's looking for a place to just get cozy.

He's in the luck sack.

I feel like I'm narrating National Geographic.

He's looking around.

I wonder what he's looking for.

He...

he can't get comfortable.

I wonder why.

He's going round and around, looking for something, perhaps, buried treasure.

Who knows what is in there?

Oh, did he just get a bath?

No, he looks like he's wet and trying to dry off.

Oh, he plopped.

He plopped down.

Okay, the vichamin is in the sack.

That was so beautiful.

I tried to like force him to become in love with the love sack, like I am.

And he wasn't really taking to it.

Like, he's very set in his own ways, and he's not going to change for any woman or man.

And

the fact that he just like jumped in there when I've literally thrown him on there 500 times since quarantine started means that it's working.

Yes, he has been sacrifice.

Okay, fifth and final,

fifth and final story.

Richard Kind is the latest star attached to the Tiger King parody musical.

And you're probably like, Jackie, why do I care who is Richard Kind?

I'll tell you.

Is Richard Kind

from Seinfeld?

Is he Funkhauser?

Seinfeld from Kerb.

Oh, sorry, Kerb.

I don't think he's a funkhauser.

He's from Red Oaks.

He's the dad.

Yes.

Yes.

I thought he was Marty's cousin.

No, that's Vince Vaughan.

But he's in Kerb, but he plays like

his, like Larry's cousin or something.

I don't know what it is.

No, I know exactly who it is.

He's the dad from Red Oaks, and he was so sad in that show.

So sad.

Richard Kine is the latest star to join a cast of Tony-nominated composer Andrew Lippa's Tiger King, the musical a parody.

Lippa's Tiger King-inspired tunes have recently been recorded as outrageous home videos by Kristen Chenoweth, Frankie Grande, and RuPaul's drag race star Nina West.

Now people are legitimately calling me and saying I want to be involved, he tells up page six.

My friend Richard Kind wants to be a part of this.

He revealed that Adding Kind will sing as Howard Carol Baskin's husband.

Chenoweth played Baskin.

Lip was working his way to his way up to a show-stopping Joe Exotic tune and says, what I really want is Jared Leto to play Eccentric, now in prison, former big cat owner, Joe Exotic.

Oh, Jared Leto.

That's good.

Jared Leto sings.

I didn't realize it was musical.

Now, is this the same one as Nicholas Cage and Kate?

No, no.

This is like a parody that has been just circling on the internet.

He said it's unclear if the project began just for fun,

if it might one day come to a real stage.

I feel like this is the best way for a project to be born.

Like it starts as a joke, people like it galvanizes people and people are excited.

And then all of a sudden it's on Broadway and it's winning Tony's.

Like that is exciting.

I never told you that I I ended up watching that Carol Baskin

prank video about those guys who tricked her into going on Jimmy, Jimmy Fallon, when it was really just their YouTube channel.

And

I had some strong words about it when I watched, when I just heard about it, because I thought it was like kind of fucked up and unethical.

But when I watched it, it was really well done.

And they did a great job.

And I loved the vlog showing the intricacies of like what email accounts they made, like how they really got her on the show.

And they got a statement from her afterwards saying that, like, she had a feeling it was fake because all the questions sounded pre-recorded um but it was a funny joke like she wasn't mad about it um and it didn't give me as big of a pit as i thought it was going to

yeah i guess that's it's nice that they didn't like use the opportunity to you know embarrass her make her uncomfortable but still the premise is just not something that like i think we should be

yeah yeah but it's like this thing that they do on this channel it's like a popular uk youtube trend like i saw a lot of videos about it.

This one obviously just got the most press.

She

had asked that they just don't talk about the documentary at all and they agreed.

So the questions were like pretty harmless.

Like, how many cats do you have?

So it really, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I have to say.

Okay.

I really am loving Beach Body currently.

Okay, TV recap.

Let me talk to you about Never Have I Ever.

I had gotten so many recommendations from for it,

and I started to watch it.

And the first thing I noticed is that it is filmed on Wisteria Lane.

I don't know if you saw my Instagram.

I saw.

I saw.

It's this like suburban neighborhood.

They built a new house for Debbie's family, like the main character.

Her family is not like a recognizable home, but I saw Susan's house.

I saw Bob and Lee's house.

I saw the Solise house.

It's just, it's honestly the best part of the show.

Like truly a trip down Wisteria Lane.

Now, the show.

The show is good.

It has a lot of redeeming qualities.

I do not like the main character.

Like her priorities are so fucked up.

She's just like a teenager and like she has like good friends and she has a good life and her parents are like her mom is like so lovely and she's just like all she cares about is having sex.

Like it's just it's and I get like wanting it's she just has so many blessings in her life and she thinks her life is terrible, you know?

And I just hate kids like that.

And she's like, I just know what's going to happen.

She's like going to, you know, try to be too cool for her friends.

And then her nerdy friends are going to want her back.

Like, I just, she kind of bothers me.

And the show is narrated by John McEnroe.

And there's a reason why, and it's really not that great of a reason.

Like he was like, hi, I'm John McEnroe and I'm narrating the show.

You'll find out why.

And then when you find out why, I'm like, I still don't understand why you're narrating the show.

And they gave him like a,

like a script written by like a 90-year-old trying to be a millennial, you know?

And he was like, he says things like, that's lit.

And it's just the narrating is bothering me.

It's like a trend in Netflix now, like to have a narrator, like like too opt to handle i i don't like it like they try so hard to be like funny and millennialy and like talk to teenagers and it's not it the show is not bad um the episodes are nice and short i just am not like loving it and it got such um

positive feedback but i'm not getting that but it's not bad i can't explain like I actually really like how they dive like because it's a Mindy Kaling production.

They talk so much about Indian culture and like the more I learned more about other cultures, the more I realized, like, we are all the same.

Like, the way they were talking about like classic, like, Indian mom stuff, like, it could have been classic Jewish mom stuff.

Like, it was really very similar.

Um,

it's good.

I actually like a lot of like the cultural stuff.

Like, one of the cousins who has to get arranged marriage, but she falls in love with this guy at college.

Like, I like that.

But, like, the high school stuff, it's like not what it's like, it's not doing it for me.

And I live for high school stuff, you know?

Yeah.

Well, maybe like we're phased out of high school stuff.

That's what I meant when I said I'm too old.

Like, sometimes when I read books or watch movies about like kids in high school now, I'm just like,

I'm that's just not me.

Do you

still enjoy like to all the boys I've loved before?

I do because like it's so well done.

It's impossible not to enjoy it.

But recently I've just come to the conclusion that like when it comes to high schooly things, I'm just not in high school like and far from it.

Wow, that's actually crazy because it's still my favorite genre of film.

Like I've, I've just been thinking about how so many of those types of movies that we've been watching like since we were too young.

Like we were seeing Mean Girls when we were like eight.

Like oh, but like when I watch movies from when we were in high school and like the movies that we grew up with about high schoolers, those I love because like those are my people.

But now being 15 years older than these people,

it just makes me feel old.

I guess.

I didn't get that feeling.

I don't think that's why I'm not loving it.

I think, I don't know what I'm not loving about it, but it's just, people are saying it's like the perfect show and it's just not, but it's good.

Interesting.

Well, I'm glad that there's content.

Yeah.

And then I also watched some more RuPaul drag race.

I've kind of slowed down because I was watching last season a day and it was just, it gets very monotonous because it's the same thing every time.

Like mini challenge, challenge, runway, Chantane Ustay.

Like it's just, it's very monotonous.

But I'm on season 10 now and I just want to make a prediction.

I'm on like episode seven.

I think Eureka wins and that's all I'll say.

Cannot stand the Vixen, such a mean girl, living for Asia.

Like maybe one of the most beautiful queens

who's ever been on the show.

Like the makeup is just getting so good.

Like I need to have a drag queen do my makeup.

Like the way that they just give themselves perfect faces and like lift up everything, everything of the sort.

Yeah.

Wow.

That's what we need to learn in the queue.

I've just been watching Ugly Betty.

I didn't start watching TV until so late last night

because I just found ways to busy myself.

And then I watched the toaster video, which was 40 minutes.

So I probably started watching TV at 9.30.

I caught two episodes of Ugly Betty.

And now when I start watching tonight, I'll be on season two, two, which is exciting.

I love when like, I love a glow up between like seasons on shows.

And I, I look forward to seeing the differences between season two and season one in Ugly Betty.

Yeah.

Like with a show like that, it's like the first season, you don't know if you're going to get a second one.

Then the second one comes, you get more budget, more wardrobe, and it just elevates it.

Yeah.

So I'm really excited for that, but I'm still loving it.

Like it totally holds up.

I've seen that other people have started watching it at my behest and they are thoroughly enjoying it as well.

So I think this has been a great decision for me, and I'm just going to keep watching it until I can't know Mo.

Yeah, that time's going to come, like, that always,

yeah.

Whether the show peters out or I peter out or I run out of episodes, like there will come a time when you know, I think I have a good solid week with it left.

Okay, that's gonna enjoy it, yeah.

I'm gonna enjoy it, yeah.

Um, and then what's on your docket?

I'm gonna watch, um,

I'm gonna finish uh, never have I ever, and then I want to watch the new Jerry Seinfeld special.

I heard it was good.

On my docket is, I think after this, I wonder what I'll watch first, Dead to Me or Hollywood.

I think I'll watch Hollywood first, then Dead to Me Season 2, and then

Money Heist.

I just feel like you're never going to watch Money Heist.

I know because

you just like get so sucked into it.

I don't know.

But the more I keep putting it off, the better.

Like, I just, I need to have things to look forward to.

Yeah,

totally.

That's the king quarantine.

Cannot wait for my yarn to get here.

Like that's my big excitement of the week.

Even if I never watch Money Heist season four, like I will always have it to look forward to.

That's true.

We'll always have Money Heist.

Yeah.

That's a great name for today's episode.

No, today's episode is the one with the pep in our step.

So I actually just texted her and she said that she's done writing.

If you are.

Yeah, she said that her wrist hurts and she's fucking done.

So maybe she should get a computer.

She can type instead.

So I guess that's all she wrote.

She also wanted to let you know that she was like getting a little wishy-washy with the writing because she's just been like editing her photos with Jackie's float presets.

And you should get some too.

Head over to jackieofloat.com to get your flow on and poppin'.

Yeah, she said that's me too.

She was like sending me selfies of herself like in a cotton candy sky and it was me.

She's like really feeling herself.
